Entrepreneurial Leadership

Entrepreneurial Leadership

Leaders at all levels in higher education require agile and creative thinking, leadership skills and resilience in order to lead effectively and respond to the rapidly changing and complex environment.

Through its portfolio of Entrepreneurial Leadership Programmes NCEE can support leadership development at various levels in higher education, both in the UK and internationally. The programmes focus on the development of entrepreneurial leadership skills and introduce strategies to support innovation and implement change. These programmes have a focus on providing the provision of high quality leadership education and creating powerful multi-disciplinary networks of colleagues from across the higher education sector.

Launched in 2010 NCEE’s Entrepreneurial Leaders Programme is well established and has helped over 160 university leaders and 85 universities respond and react to change. Many of those who have attended the programme have gone on to more senior positions within universities.

The success of Entrepreneurial Leaders has led to the development of a brand new programme called Entrepreneurial Heads, which aims to support Heads of Schools and Services to respond personally to the external challenges their organisations are facing. This programme promotes the development of entrepreneurial thinking, along with an entrepreneurial mind-set and behaviours that can be embedded into Schools, Services and the wider university.
